In my old 512KE I used to take a playing card, or anything of that size and rigidness and slide it either under or over the disk while using a paperclip to give the disk a little shove. This worked all the time, though it was not always fast, nor easy. It was more like picking a lock, have to do every thing by feel and you have never done anything like it before. But it is probably easier than taking the disk drive appart, as that would have to be a REAL exersize... Mark Cookson
